REGoth now mostly playable (engine reimpl. for Gothic1&2)

Similar to OpenWM there is a project reimplementing the Gothic 1&2 RPG, which is in my humble opinion the much better game ;)

See:
https://github.com/REGoth-project/REGoth

Latest video (obviously inspired by OpenMW):

Works on Linux (+Windows, Mac if that's your thing) and Android.

Does it requires the original files? Quite hard to find those here.

Yes... I fear if you can't get them from places like Steam or GOG, you are probably left to download it from some illegal warez site.

I bought all Gothic titles on sale for 5 dollars or so.

Seems like they restarted the project:
https://github.com/REGoth-project/REGoth-bs/

Based on a game engine framework I did not know about:
https://www.bsframework.io/

It seems to part of or reuse or based on some components from this one?

Interesting information, I would like to know what led them to changing the engine. I remember OpenMW went through a similar situation, they switched from Ogre3D to OpenSceneGraph because of some limitations of Ogre. Am also curious about the bs framework and how it is different from e.g. Godot.

Why does bs use a custom shading language? I hate that! Stick with standard GLSL or HLSL. SPIR-V compilers are supposed to make it possible to take your pick. More vendor lock-in bs, just like Godot. Also no legacy GL 3 support or WebGL renderer. Dude. No.
